Don't post an article as biased and inflammatory as this expect no blowback. Especially when you make a statement as you did. Why go whining to the Religion Moderator?

You said Catholics don't worship Mary. You pray to her and ask for her to intercede. I copied the Hail Mary for you.

From Merriam Webster:

Worship:

- reverence offered a divine being or supernatural power; also : an act of expressing such reverence

- a form of religious practice with its creed and ritual

- extravagant respect or admiration for or devotion to an object of esteem

Catholics worship Mary. You are wrong.

Are you aware that most of the Hail Mary is from the Bible?

Hail Mary, full of grace, — Gabriel’s greeting to Mary at the Annuciation

The Lord is with thee — At the Visitation, Elizabeth greets Mary by saying, “How is this that the Mother of my Lord has come to see me?”

Elizabeth then continues “Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” The word Jesus was added later.

Holy Mary, — just a greeting,
Mother of God — back to Elizabeth and “the Mother of my Lord.”
here is the request “Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Please read Luke to verify.
